His Name Is The Captain

[hisnameisthecaptain]

So you're saying it doesn't matter how magical my powers are, I can't take Superman in a fight?

What do you mean I suck at fighting?

They mean that you'll get the ☠☠☠☠ kicked out of you. You ☠☠☠☠.

[Helpful robot is helpful.]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Magic's like one of his weaknesses though. Shouldn't that give me the upper hand or something?

[ihateyoufleshyone]

That's never helped you before

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Yeah, but no one’s put a hole through my chest either. I figure of the two of us, I got the better chance of not having my ☠☠☠☠ handed to me.

[seesthebattlefield]

Pretty sure most of us are in that boat.

[But that doesn't mean you still can't be a BAMF!]

Are you expecting the need to?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

Nope, I just wanted to think I could kick Superman's ☠☠☠☠.

Now I'm just picturing a disheartened Clark Kent crashing this thread

[seesthebattlefield]

[John just snorts, amused.]

Don't we all, mate?

[Nothing against the bloke of course; just a theoretical ego booster.]

Still, last I checked, whether or not you 'sucked' at something depended on a little more than that.

The Captain is just an abrasive jerk

[hisnameisthecaptain]

I don't see why I can't. Like, what's he got that I don't?

Well Watson has more than enough practice with those

[seesthebattlefield]

Superhuman status? Powers? I wouldn't know.

[Sorry, just your typical average bloke over here.]

What do you have?

[hisnameisthecaptain]

I have powers too. And I'm not even an alien.

[No, he just got his powers from aliens.]

We can't win a fight the muns decide we're going to lose. The outcome is a fixed point once they decide the winner, no matter how crazy their choice was.

I wouldn't take it personally.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

So you're saying if my mun wanted me to win, I could totally kick Superman's ☠☠☠☠?

[willneverletitgo]

Yes, that tends to be how it works.

[hisnameisthecaptain]

That'd be pretty cool. Would beat that time I ruined that demon's life.
